Recipes:
Juicy Birria Tacos with Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
For the Birria (Beef Stew):
2 lbs beef chuck roast or short ribs
3 dried guajillo chilies
2 dried ancho chilies
2 cups beef broth
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, quartered
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Tacos:
Corn tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella or Oaxaca cheese
1/2 cup diced onion
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Lime wedges for serving
For the Dipping Sauce:
Reserved birria broth (consume)
Instructions:
Prepare the Birria
Remove stems and seeds from the dried chilies. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Soak the chilies in warm water for 15 minutes, then blend with beef broth, garlic, onion, apple cider vinegar, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Cook the Beef
Place the beef in a large pot or slow cooker. Pour the blended chili mixture over the beef. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours, or until the meat is tender and shreddable. Shred the beef and reserve the cooking liquid as the dipping sauce.
Assemble the Tacos
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Dip the corn tortillas in the reserved birria broth to coat. Place the tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with cheese. Add shredded birria meat, diced onion, and cilantro. Fold the tortilla in half and cook until crispy and golden on both sides.
Serve with Dipping Sauce
Serve the tacos with a side of the warm birria broth for dipping. Garnish with extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of flavor.
Birria Tacos are a savory and satisfying treat with tender meat, melted cheese, and bold flavors. Perfect for taco night or any special occasion!
